These deals are much easier to get locked down and offer more options for disposition strategy, but would rely on a qualified buyer pool who would be earning more than the six figures through w2 or a business.Benefits:- No Down payment deals- Seller carries 25-50% of purchase price- Lower interest rate than banks.

Then after you close apply for delayed financing which cashes you out of the purchase and includes escrowed rehab funds for the fix.  

Purchase price: $60,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Sale price: $209,000 Im not good at this type of stuff, but a brief desciption of the property and what we did.

You also have states like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, all depending on your comfort level in distance or rental type.

Hello BP, I saw this in one of my FB groups and wanted to share this in the event you were affected - "I’ve worked as a full time licensed claims adjuster for years along with being a STR owner in Tennessee.

I also want to avoid the insurance company issuing out a payment in both the names of the Lender and property owner .... which could lead to a dispute.For context, I lent money privately to another investor, who put up their non-homestead property as collateral.

I got interested in real estate investing last year and since then have read several of the BP published books on real estate.I still have a lot of unanswered questions floating in my head but my goal is to buy my first property and some point next year. 

The best thing to do would be to consult an attorney, but likely, that is not an option for everyone starting out.I'm not an attorney, and this is not legal advice, but some of the information that we include in our contracts is:- A clear scope of work - Payment schedule / Milestones- Change order approval process- Allowances for finished materials- Reasons to terminate the contract- Expectations for start date (X amount of time after final plans /permits are received or X amount of time after the contract is executed)- General schedule and timeline (This is where you could specify an end date - however it may be better use incentives rather than liquidated damage if your general contractor is late - we've done both, but found General Contractors respond better to getting something if they get done early instead of being punished for being late. 

I do this because sellers are going to offer 3% (they are in my market), and if I signed for less, I could not get the overage.To secure my buyers in this new environment, I made a 27-minute video going through the whole agreement and pointing out the things to beware of.

I’m Ian from Tanzania (Africa), stepping into the exciting world of real estate investment after years in digital marketing and few months of being a short-term rental agent.
